  • Patent number: 10440958
    Abstract: A disinfectant material may be used to kill bacteria, viruses, mold and fungal contaminants while minimizing toxic risks to humans. The disinfectant material may be effective in killing pathogens and more on numerous types of surfaces including on the skin of mammals. Exemplary embodiments include a copper halogen, such as copper iodide. Exemplary materials may also include a pH stabilizer, a preservative, humectants, or other constituents. Exemplary disinfectant materials may be used as a liquid or a gel, applied via a wipe, sprayed or in other forms.

  • Patent number: 10342973
    Abstract: A therapeutic electron transfer device including a half-cell and an ionically conductive path for ion transfer between an organism and the half-cell. The half-cell includes an electrically conductive electrode, an active material in contact with the electrode, and an electrically conductive path for electron transfer between the organism and the electrode. The active material includes an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent, such that electron transfer occurs spontaneously from or to the organism, respectively. A kit includes therapeutic electron transfer device and instructions for use. Two therapeutic electron transfer devices may be used simultaneously or alternately to provide electrons to an organism, withdraw electrons from an organism, or both.

  • Patent number: 9615572
    Abstract: An article of manufacture includes a liquid tight container that holds a disinfecting solution. The disinfecting solution is dispensed from the container via an atomizing sprayer. The solution is usable to apply a film of the solution on surfaces. The film applied by the atomizing sprayer is operative to destroy bacterial and fungal organisms on the surfaces at the time of initial application and organisms that later come in contact with the film on the surface.

  • Patent number: 9573058
    Abstract: A computer game terminal, and associated method and code, for operating an online interactive computer game. The terminal includes an interface receiving non-interactive user input data from a controller associated with the computer games terminal and an interface receiving interactive game data associated with at least one interactive game element. The terminal includes a display driver rendering a graphical representation of a computer game based on the non-interactive user input data and the interactive game data. The terminal includes a processor processing the received non-interactive user input data and the interactive game data, while inhibiting data interaction. The processing inhibits interaction between a displayed avatar associated with the user input data and a displayed avatar associated with the received interactive game data.

  • Patent number: 9364751
    Abstract: A method for providing an interactive video game over a digital communications network. The method involves operating an interactive computer game on interconnected computer games terminals. The method includes receiving, at each of the computer games terminals, interactive user input data from a controller associated with the computer games terminal and also interactive user input data from a controller associated with each of the other of the plurality of computer game terminals. The method further includes rendering a graphical representation of the computer game based on the interactive user input data. Then, with at least one of the plurality of computer game terminals, non-interactive user input data is received from a controller associated with a further computer games terminal associated with a non-interactive user. The method continues with rendering the graphical representation of the computer game based on the interactive user input data and, selectively, the non-interactive user input data.

  • Patent number: 8944911
    Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for providing concurrent gameplay of a single-player mode of a computer game. In one embodiment, a first instance of the single-player mode of the computer game is being played by a first player and receives, from a second instance of the single-player mode of the computer game, data associated with an avatar controlled by a second player. The first instance may provide, to the first player, an indication of the avatar controlled by the second player, as both players play the computer game.
